In 1949, with the victory of the Liberation War and the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek's father and son ordered his agents to begin a frenzied and bloody massacre before they defeated Taiwan. Mao Renfeng, director of the Secrecy Bureau, was ordered to draw up a "rigorous" plan and submit a so-called list of tens of thousands of people.
Chiang Kai-shek didn't care who was on the list at all, he just focused on the names of some people, including Yang Hucheng, who made him "grit his teeth."
The Xi'an Incident of 1936 has always been regarded as a disgrace by Chiang Kai-shek, and Zhang Xueliang commented on Chiang Kai-shek in his later years, saying that his biggest weakness was that he did not measure. How could Chiang Kai-shek, who had no measurements, tolerate such humiliation in front of his subordinates? After returning to Nanjing from Xi'an, he asked Chen Brei to fabricate the "Half Moon Record of Xi'an" for him, and then asked Song Meiling to write "Memoirs of Xi'an" in an attempt to show the world that his behavior was not alarmed, and Zhang Yang was guilty. As soon as Zhang Xueliang arrived in Nanjing, he was put under house arrest, and Yang Hucheng was soon forced to go abroad to investigate.
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng
Chiang Kai-shek also hated Zhang Xueliang, but given Zhang Xueliang's relationship with Song Ziwen and Song Meiling's brothers and sisters, putting him under house arrest may be the biggest revenge that old Chiang can do. In addition, Chiang Kai-shek has always believed that Yang Hucheng was the initiator of the Xi'an Incident, and Zhang Xueliang was just a brother in law and was deceived. However, at that time, the anti-Japanese atmosphere in the whole country was high, and Yang Hucheng did not throw himself into the net like Zhang Xueliang, and Chiang Kai-shek had to urge Yang Hucheng to go abroad while preparing to assassinate him.
On March 29, 1937, Chiang Kai-shek entrusted someone to bring a message to Yang Hucheng, saying that he was willing to meet with Yang and hoped that Yang would take the initiative to see him. Chiang Kai-shek did not mention that he wanted to see Yang Hucheng, but asked Yang Hucheng to find him. And just a few days before Yang Hucheng went to Hangzhou to see Chiang Kai-shek
Chen Lifu found the killer Chu Longyin through the agents of the Investigation Section of the Party Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee, and used the excuse of "revenge for killing his father" to persuade Chu Longyin to assassinate Yang Hucheng.
Chen Lifu even said that as long as Chu Longyin took on this crime afterwards, he could not personally intervene. After the fact, he was at most put in prison for 5 months, and then funded to study abroad, and was responsible for the job arrangement after returning home.
But Chu Longyin refused, on the grounds that Yang Hucheng was a hero who exposed the anti-Japanese resistance, "Although I am debauched, I am not confused about right and wrong. ”
Yang Hucheng
After being rejected by Chu Longyin, the agents were not reconciled, and they found a person with a similar background to Chu Longyin, called Zhen Zhiyan. Zhen Zhiyan was a woman, and her father Zhen Shiren and Chu Longyin's father were both shot by Orders of Yang Hucheng. Chiang Kai-shek's agents wanted to use them to "avenge their father's murder", but the two knew the righteousness and refused one after another.
Finally, on June 29, 1937, Yang Hucheng, together with his wife Xie Baozhen, second son Yang Zhengzhong, secretaries Wang Linge and Kang Weike, and staff officer Fan Yunong, a group of six people set off from Shanghai on the American steamship "President Hoover" to investigate abroad. Chiang Kai-shek forced Yang Hucheng to go abroad to investigate, with the aim of eradicating Yang Hucheng's influence in all aspects of Shaanxi. For this reason, when Yang Hucheng heard the news of the Lugou Bridge incident abroad and asked to return to China to resist the war, Chiang Kai-shek naturally did not agree.
meanwhile
Yang Hucheng, who was abroad, was still trying to find ways to return to China, and he had sent representatives to Moscow, intending to return to China through the Soviet Union. However, this matter, which was originally very confidential, reached Chiang Kai-shek's ears through a secret channel.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned of this, he was furious, but on the surface he did not move, and invited Yang Hucheng to return to China through Song Ziwen to "go to the country together." Yang Hucheng had already received a notice of permission to go to Moscow, but after receiving Song Ziwen's telegram, he was eager to return to China, and according to the telegram's suggestion, he canceled the plan to return to China through the Soviet Union and returned to China through Hong Kong.
Song Ziwen personally went to Hong Kong to pick up Yang Hucheng, and then Dai Kasa received him from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, where he was secretly arrested by secret agents of the military command and imprisoned in the Meiling Villa, 30 miles from nanchang city. It was on December 2, 1937, and more than a month later, Yang Hucheng's wife Xie Baozhen arrived in Nanchang with her son Yang Zhengzhong, and they all lost their freedom. Dai Kasa secretly imprisoned them in the nanchang city and did not let them meet Yang Hucheng until half a year later. In the autumn of 1938, Yang Hucheng's family traveled from Changsha to Yiyang, and then escorted to Xuantian Cave in Guizhou. From then on, the "house arrest" was ended and the formal life of imprisonment began.
There was originally a Taoist temple in Xuantian Cave, the agents drove away the Taoists, broke the incense, and Dai Kasa personally went up the mountain to check it out and built a prison.
Yang Hucheng was locked up there for eight years, guarded day and night by a platoon of gendarmes and a special task force of more than 20 people, and the "attention" was much higher than that of Zhang Xueliang.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this group of people was transferred to Chongqing along with Yang Hucheng.
According to shen drunken recollection, the head of the secret service of the military command, because Chiang Kai-shek did not hate Yang Hucheng, Dai Kasa also treated him very harshly in his living arrangements, and did not allow outsiders to help him. Yang Hucheng himself had a little money and was not willing to take it out to use, plus the legal tender depreciated every day at that time, and then passed through the hands of secret agents, so life was quite difficult, and it was not easy to change a new set of cotton clothes. Chiang Kai-shek had hoped that Yang Hucheng would bow his head and send Dai Jitao and others to persuade him to "repent" and expose the "deception" of the Communist Party, but Yang Hucheng sternly refused.
White Mansion
After Li Zongren took the throne, he instructed Gu Zhutong to release Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, but Chiang Kai-shek resolutely opposed it and instructed Mao Renfeng, Xu Yuanju, and other agents to transfer Yang Hucheng to Guiyang. When Chiang Kai-shek was bitterly killed, because Yang Hucheng was imprisoned in a scenic area in Guiyang, it was too conspicuous, and he instructed Mao Renfeng, Xu Yuanju, Zhou Yanghao and other agents to transfer Yang Hucheng back to Chongqing.
On August 24, 1949, Chiang Kai-shek flew from Guangzhou to Chongqing to hold a meeting and decided to secretly kill Yang Hucheng and his secretary Song Qiyun in Chongqing
。 Mao Renfeng then summoned Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao to a meeting to plot a plan to kill Yang Hucheng and others.
According to Xu Yuanju, a senior secret agent who was formerly the director of the Second Division of the Kuomintang's Southwest Governor's Office and the head of the Southwest Special Administrative Region, when he was interrogated in 1968, he originally advocated killing and burying him on the spot in the barren mountains and wild mountains of the Chuanqian Highway. Mao Renfeng said that it was not confidential and wanted to mention the killings of China and the United States.
The Sino-American Institute is the White Mansion, which was personally selected by Dai Kasa as a detention center directly under the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau. Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, Huang Xiansheng, a patriotic general of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, Zhou Junshi, president of Tongji University, Liao Chengzhi, a patriot, Song Qiyun, a member of the Communist Party, Xu Linxia and his wife, and their youngest son, Song Zhenzhong, were all imprisoned here.
On the night of September 6, 1949, the 56-year-old general Yang Hucheng was killed, along with Yang Hucheng's 19-year-old son Yang Zhengzhong, his daughter Yang Zhenggui, who was not yet 10 years old, Yang Hucheng's secretary Song Qiyun and his wife, his children Song Zhenzhong, his adjutant Yan Jiming, and the guard Zhang Xingmin.
Just as they entered the Sino-American Institute, before they could take their seats, the agents who had long been ambushed there began to act.
According to the perpetrator Yang Jinxing, Yang Zhengzhong's son, Yang Zhengzhong, who has been imprisoned since he was 9 years old and is under 20 years old, but has gray hair and a gray back, shouted "Down with fascism" when he was killed.
Among those killed were Song Zhenzhong, the "little radish head", and the secret agent Yang Jinxing and Yang Qindian together killed the youngest martyr.
Yang Hucheng's youngest daughter, Yang Zhenggui, was born in prison, accompanied by her father for 9 years in prison, and also died tragically at the hands of secret agents, and her young remains have not been found.
Ironically, after the Liberation Army liberated the great southwest, the People's Liberation Army once imprisoned Kuomintang war criminals of all sizes in the White Mansion, including Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao, who participated in the killing of General Yang Hucheng. The difference is that the Communist Party did not torture and oppress them brutally, but organized them to undergo active reform.
Among the large and small spies who killed General Yang Hucheng and the martyrs imprisoned in the White Mansion and the Slag Cave, the most ferocious and fierce was yang Jinxing, the executioner. The day before the liberation of Chongqing, Yang Jinxing was also ordered by Zhou Yanghao to take 32 Communist Party members by truck to songlin slope on the side of the White Mansion and killed them.
Yang Jinxing, who killed the red-eyed Yang Jinxing, carried a bullet clip on his back, pinned three guns around his waist, and killed six people in one go.
It was such an executioner with bloody hands, but before the city of Chongqing was destroyed, he climbed into a protective car and fled to Chengdu. In Chengdu, Yang Jinxing, under Xu Yuanju's arrangement, sneaked to northern Sichuan with personnel and weapons to fight guerrilla warfare.
Such a person, who is full of dangers and has committed the most heinous crimes, has become the target of arrest by the People's Liberation Army and public security personnel. Yang Jinxing did not flee to Taiwan, nor was he qualified to travel abroad, but he did not know where he was hiding. The Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau listed the arrest of this person as a special major case for investigation and reported it to the central authorities for nationwide search and arrest.
According to the accounts of Xu Yuanju, Zhou Yanghao, and others, Yang Jinxing was sent back to fight guerrillas, and it was not clear whether he had returned to his hometown. Public security officers rushed to Yang Jinxing's hometown of Dingping, Zhejiang, but found no trace of him, and he did not return to his hometown at all. Soon after, it was learned from a report that Yang Jinxing and 18 people organized a riot in Huaying Mountain, and the People's Liberation Army was scattered at once. However, after countless hardships, the case-handling personnel went deep into Huaying Mountain to investigate and visit thousands of households, but still found nothing.
Xu Yuanju
After investigation, I learned that Yang Jinxing saw that the general trend of the Kuomintang had gone, and he had gone to which mountain in anonymity, and it was really like finding a needle in a haystack to find him. The case was thus shelved and no progress was made.
It was not until August 1953, when the country's first census was conducted, that the Qingju District of Nanchong County, Sichuan Province, reported that they had investigated and punished a person of unknown origin named Yang Dafa
He claimed to be from The Dai Market in Guang'an County, Sichuan, but when they sent a letter to Guang'an Dai City, the other party wrote back saying that the person's ancestral home could not be found. The case-handling personnel were immediately alert,
Is this Yang Dafa Yang Jinxing?
The personnel of the case tracing team immediately took action and went to Nanchong to investigate.
The investigation quickly uncovered a lot of suspicious points. Shortly after the liberation of Chongqing, this Yang Dafa spent two silver dollars on the outskirts of Nanchong and asked two farmers carrying slippery poles to carry themselves and their wives and daughters to Qingju District. Claiming to be his ancestral home in Guang'an, his parents died when he was 6 years old, he had been a cattle herder, sold burnt cakes and fruits, during this time the soldiers were in chaos, and he wanted to take his wife and baby back to his hometown, but he was snatched away by the Kuomintang deserters on the way. When it comes to emotional places, Yang Dafa burst into tears. Teng Mingqing, a farmer who carried the sliding pole, was honest and loyal, so he left Yang Dafa's family at home. A few days later, Yang Dafa repeated the same trick, tricking the local villagers into agreeing to stay in the local area and make a living on the spot.
Since then, Yang Dafa has taken off his yellow tweed coat, and his long shirt has also been specially torn off in half, dressed in rags, and followed Teng Mingqing to carry a sliding pole to support his family. Half a year later, he spent a deposit of 20 silver dollars to rent two acres of land of the landlord of the village to cultivate. 1
In 951, when northern Sichuan was carrying out land reform, Yang Dafa's family was classified as a poor peasant
It was divided into two acres of land, and one was divided into tile houses and one grass house.
Yang Jinxing
In the village, Yang Dafa was very active, speaking actively at various meetings, denouncing the dark rule of the old society at the grievance meeting, and scrambling to do hard work every time when building roads. Therefore, Yang Dafa was also elected by the masses as the leader of the production mutual aid group, and was repeatedly rated as an advanced and labor model in the township. However, the villagers occasionally think that Yang Dafa is very strange, he claims to be a businessman but does not know a word, when the village runs a peasant night school to eliminate literacy, he and his wife actively signed up to participate, in a month to read more than 300, became a model of learning.
During the investigators' visit, the villagers reported that Yang Dafa was wearing a precious watch when he first arrived here, and he was generous with money, and the yellow tweed coat he sold for 60,000 yuan (old coins) was a bit like an old military uniform. When his wife Tian Dejun first came to the village, she had long shawl hair, which was still permed, and was ridiculed by the locals as a "hairy ghost", so she changed her name to the popular hair of local women. In addition, Yang Dafa often goes to Huaying Mountain, and once he goes, it is more than a week. Another time when I was staying in an inn outside, I had a dispute with the boss, and Yang Da blurted out angrily: "If it weren't for liberation, I wouldn't have made it impossible for you to open the shop." "In short,
Yang Dafa, a poor peasant, is a little strange.
At this time, when a staff member of the Nanchang County Public Security Bureau was cleaning up the town's anti-corruption archives, he found a whistle-blowing letter from thousands of scattered materials, which was written by Teng Zhiyuan, a member of the Kuomintang, during his transformation in 1951. Teng Zhiyuan's father, a landlord who lived next door to Yang Dafa, revealed that Yang Dafa had sought out his father, saying that he had served in the Kuomintang Southwest Governor's Office, and that he was going to fly to Taiwan during liberation, but later because of a change, he led 18 members of the lurking group to Huaying Mountain, and later dispersed. Yang Dafa tried to incite the riots, but was unsuccessful.
This whistleblower letter is very consistent with the whereabouts of Yang Jinxing that the investigators have already grasped, but whether it can be confirmed that Yang Dafa is Yang Jinxing, there is still some direct evidence. Just when the investigators were at a loss, someone raised it
: Aren't Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao still in prison? Take a photo of Yang Dafa and look for them to identify it, isn't it clear?
It's really a word to wake up the dreamer.
Zhou Yanghao
Disguised as reporters, the investigators took a photo of Yang Dafa and a group photo of their husband and wife in the name of covering the advanced collectives in the whole region. After the photo was developed, it was immediately sent to Xu Yuanju and Zhou Yanghao, who repeatedly read it many times and unanimously affirmed: "He is Yang Jinxing!" ”
On June 11, 1955, Yang Jinxing was arrested. After 7 hours of short interrogation, yang Jinxing confessed to killing in the face of breaking illusions, opening the net, pile by pile, and facts one by one

And the specific experience of Yang Hucheng and Song Qiyun.
On May 16, 1958, the Chongqing Municipal Intermediate People's Court held a trial meeting at the Working People's Cultural Palace and sentenced Yang Jinxing to death and immediately executed. A righteous gunshot sounded, and Yang Jinxing, the executioner who killed General Yang Hucheng and many martyrs such as "Little Radish Head" and his hands were stained with blood, ended his life of sin.
